52 earrings: #11 Droplets

This design has been sitting around half-finished for some time – the copper washer needed tidying up and I hadn’t got round to it. I did a batch of them recently: annealed, pickled, textured with a hammer, drilled holes and then tumbled to make them very very shiny. These ones I used a ball pein hammer to texture.

The drops are borosilicate glass by Unicorne Beads in the US. We have a supplier over here, so I got them at a bead fair some time ago. They do these drops in all sorts of colours – it was hard to choose, but I’m a sucker for tealy blues! I made a pair of copper ball-ended earwires to go with them.
